It's the same concept behind herd immunization.
Honestly, bumpy roads? Do you think Taber is more or less of a bumpy drive than this?:

Again, that relies on every car being self-driven at once. I'm talking about that awkward first adapter phase that tech has to get through. Don't want self-driving cars to go the way of the segway do you? That was supposed to revolutionize the world too.
The computers in the satellites aboard that space shuttle probably have a lot more money invested in to their stability than what a person who is currently driving a Ford Fiesta can afford. They're also probably not turned on...
